Perry Willett's suggestion that his Kurzweil machine "contains the
reincarnated soul of some dead poet" seems less than farfetched in light
of Dvorak's column in the May 29, 1990 issue of PC Magazine proclaiming
that "Intel's 80170 chip has the theoretical intelligence of a
cockroach--no kidding."

Toujours gai!

Subject: "Tzvee Zahavy's suggestion about the NYT"

I've just written a letter to Paul Lewis, United Nations Bureau Chief of
the NYT. I met him on a bus ride from the Toronto Airport to the
ACH-ALLC89 conference last year. Perhaps others could write to the
editors about HUMANIST.
